From API Call to Infographic
What a single render request produces in under a second
Three Endpoints. Straightforward Workflows.
POST your content. Poll for completion. Get your infographic. The full integration takes minutes.
Send a Render Request
POST your template ID and content updates to the render endpoint. Specify text, colors, shapes, and output format.
Poll for Job Status
The render job processes asynchronously. Poll the status endpoint until it returns completed.
Retrieve Your Infographic
Once complete, fetch the result to get your download URL. Your PNG or PDF is ready to use.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Infographic Generator API
What does one API call produce?
One API call generates one infographic or one carousel. A carousel with multiple slides still counts as one call.
How fast does it render?
Processing is sub-second. Because rendering is async, you poll the status endpoint until the job is complete — typically within a few seconds end to end.
Can I use my own templates?
Yes. Create and label your templates in the Contentdrips template editor, then reference them by template ID in your API calls.
Does it work at scale?
Yes. The API is built for high-volume production use. Teams generating thousands of infographics per month use it in production today.
Is this different from AI image generation?
Completely different. This uses structured templates with your content and brand data. Output is consistent, predictable, and on-brand every time. AI image generation is unpredictable and not suitable for branded, text-heavy infographic workflows.
Can I build my own infographic maker tool on top of this?
Yes. Several products use the Contentdrips API as the rendering layer behind their own infographic generation features.
What happens if a render job fails?
The status endpoint returns a failed status. Jobs time out after 5 minutes if they do not complete.
Where is the full API documentation?
Full API reference including all parameters, response schemas, and advanced examples is available in the developer docs linked from your dashboard.
